Accelerate Digital Transformation in Today's Distributed Cloud World

Today, however, true digital transformation requires more than just the public cloud.

As the pace of business and rate of change continue to drive unprecedented growth, a new model is required, one designed to manage billions of people and devices that continually create and share data.

The new model that supports the next wave of digital transformation is available now from HPE. By delivering a hybrid cloud (public + private) experience to applications and data everywhere, HPE eliminates complexity and silos, while also driving speed and agility using common tools, processes, and automation—all delivered as a service.

VMware Cloud Foundation™

Proven to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), VMware Cloud Foundation is a hybrid cloud platform designed to manage virtual machines (VMs) and orchestrate containers. By delivering enterprise agility, reliability, and efficiency from initial deployment through Day 2 operations, VMware Cloud Foundation helps businesses deploy the full software-defined stack as the foundation of their private cloud.

Together, HPE and VMware have revolutionised the data centre by building a single,

consistent hybrid cloud experience that simplifies both on-premises systems with software-defined infrastructure, powered by Intel, and hybrid cloud through VMware Cloud Foundation

Through optimised platforms—HPE Synergy and HPE ProLiant for VMware Cloud

Foundation—HPE offers the ability to leverage the benefits of a software-defined composable bladed and rack-optimised infrastructure. With these workload-optimised platforms, businesses can build a secure and scalable private cloud based on VMware’s software-defined data centre (SDDC) stack.

HPE ProLiant with VMware Cloud Foundation

To provide a highly scalable software-defined hybrid solution in a highly reliable rack-based form factor, HPE and VMware deliver the VMware Cloud Foundation on HPE ProLiant DL servers, powered by Intel. This solution supports effective and reliable firmware lifecycle management, and it can help maintain compliance by easily detecting firmware and drivers drift across the VMware ESXi™ hosts in the cluster and swiftly remediate them.

With HPE ProLiant-based hybrid clouds, businesses benefit from easy, repeatable, and expandable deployment, integrated VMware management and enhanced agility, and automated firmware lifecycle management workflow.
